I don't really see it as having much of an effect on Racing games tbh. Certainly not circuit racing games. Even games like Need For Speed though... in a world of self-driving cars 'Street Racers' won't be using them.

GTA though, that's a game that might change!

Where will street racers come from when every child is brought up without ever learning how to drive? To appreciate driving cars you would first have to drive a car. Expect the sentence "Why would I ever want to steer a car myself?" become an actual thing in the future.

I don't think that with the advent of self-driving cars people are going to not be able to comprehend the enjoyment behind driving a car themselves. People will still be able to understand why Driving and Drifting a vehicle around at 130mph through a city while being chased by cops might be fun.

Most people have never piloted a plane, only been a passenger in one, they can still understand how piloting a plane in a game can be fun.

Not to mention Motorsports like Formula One, Nascar etc won't be going anywhere.
